So I’m near the end of my 2 year prescription. Luckily for me the big diarrhoea and abdominal pain settled a couple of weeks after I had begun to feel there was no way I could possibly cope much longer.
I’ve had a lot of draggy symptoms, infections and tiredness but have stayed on the full dose as the oncologist has said that my blood tests haven't warranted a reduction. I began to feel that I might benefit from a dose reduction about 6 months ago.. I’ve accepted her advice as I might as well do the best I can to get the full benefit from this drug.
Anyway the end is in sight and when I started the pills I’d been on letrozole for nearly 5 months and it hadn’t particularly affected me, barring a few reminders of menopausal hot flushes. I’d appreciate hearing the experience of people who’ve finished their prescriptions. I will be staying on the letrozole longer and once I’m just down to that drug I suppose I will at least know what to blame!
